The analysis of quantitative data often involves statistical techniques such as:
Descriptive Statistics: These summarize the main features of a dataset, providing simple summaries about the sample and measures. Examples include mean, median, and mode. Inferential Statistics: These are used to make inferences about a population based on a sample. Techniques include regression analysis, t-tests, and ANOVA. Multivariate Analysis: This involves examining multiple variables to understand their relationships and effects. Examples include factor analysis and cluster analysis.
